Ocasio-Cortez Defends Chasing Jobs Out

Ocasio-Cortez has been lampooned by Hollywood liberals like Cher on one side, and establishment Democrats such as Governor Andrew Cuomo on the other.

Cuomo blasted the “small group [of] politicians” who “put their own narrow political interests above their community,” adding they “should be held accountable for this lost economic opportunity.”

Ocasio-Cortez has been furiously tweeting explanations ever since which, at a minimum, demonstrate that her degree in economics was more of a pity handout than something showing a breadth of knowledge on the topic.

.@AOC responding to criticism that by Amazon pulling out of HQ2 in Queens, 25,000 jobs were lost: “We were subsidizing those jobs.”

Says if state/city was willing to “give away $3 billion for this deal,” investments can be made in hiring teachers and fixing the subway.
